Mohamed Atef Anwar Sadat (Arabic: محمد عاطف أنور السادات; 13 March 1948 – 6 October 1973) was an Egyptian fighter pilot. In the first hour of the 1973 Arab–Israeli War, he was killed in action while conducting an aerial raid on an airport in the Israeli-occupied Sinai Peninsula. He was the younger half-brother of the then-incumbent Egyptian president Anwar Sadat, who was assassinated on the same day eight years later.[1]
